A Novel Human Prostate-Specific, Androgen-Regulated Homeobox Gene (NKX3.1) That Maps to 8p21, a Region Frequently Deleted in Prostate Cancer
1 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
We have isolated a prostate-specific gene (NKX3.1) in humans that is homologous to the Drosophila NK homeobox gene family. Northern blot analyses indicate that this gene is expressed at high levels in adult prostate and at a much lower level in testis, but is expressed little or not at all in several other tissues. In an androgen-dependent prostate carcinoma line, LNCaP, NKX3.1 mRNA is expressed at a basal level...
